It's a time to focus on the present moment, and digest the day, while preparing to digest the dinner to follow. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is also the ideal time to try a classic Italian drink. Traditionally cocktails are light on alcohol and bitter in taste, meaning they pair well with the salty snacks on offer. Campari or slightly sweeter Aperol mixed with soda are classic choices, or enjoyed in a spritz (with the addition of sparkling wine). If you're after something with more of a kick, you won't be disappointed by Italy's most famous cocktail, the Negroni, or a lighter sbagliato. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDelicious bite-size snacks and small plates are served alongside drinks and, depending on which part of Italy you are in these can include topped bruschetta (toasts), cheeses and salumi (cured meats), vegetable antipasti, and even pizzette, pasta, or meatballs.
